This is a task created for participants of the Indigenous Mapping Workshop 2017 introduction to OSM sessions. The Workshop is hosted by the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation and the Nation’s Land Department are aware of this mapping effort. The session aims to encourage participants to start efforts to improve the representation of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities on OSM.

This task is for workshop participants - if you are not a participant, please wait to add to this until after November 3, 2017

About the Tasking Manager

OSM Tasking Manager is a mapping tool designed and built for the Humanitarian OSM Team collaborative mapping. The purpose of the tool is to divide up a mapping job into smaller tasks that can be completed rapidly. It shows which areas need to be mapped and which areas need the mapping validated.

This approach facilitates the distribution of tasks to the various mappers in a context of emergency. It also permits control of the progress and the homogeneity of the work done (e.g. elements to cover, specific tags to use, etc.).

Just jump over to OpenStreetMap, create an account, and then visit the LearnOSM tutorials on the Tasking Manager and the iD editor. Alternatively check out the MapGive website which also provides information on the Tasking Manager and mapping. Once you have read up on how to map, come back here to help map for people on the ground!
